This European Standard provides the specific requirements for NDT of wheelsets for:-in-service maintenance;-off-vehicle maintenance;-NDT personnel;-NDT documentation (Procedure and Instruction);-traceability of the maintenance NDT results.It gives guidance for the introduction of new NDT techniques.For this standard, the following NDT methods are considered:-Ultrasonic testing (UT);-Magnetic particle testing (MT);-Eddy Current testing (ET).Examples of common NDT indications are given in an informative annex.Other methods considered in EN ISO 9712:2012 are outside the scope of this standard.For this purpose, a catalogue of the common defects is given as guidance.Specific NDT requirements relating to the quality of new products delivered by manufacturers are not within the scope of this European Standard.
